Home-based eye movement treatment for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based treatment that uses eye movements to help people with spatial neglect, a condition where they ignore one side of space after a stroke. It aims to improve attention and daily function.

This trial tests an at-home, phone/computer-based therapy to help people who have “neglect” after a stroke, using visual tasks to retrain attention. It may help improve how you notice and respond to the space on one side of your world.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
This trial tests whether watching moving patterns (optokinetic stimulation) can help improve attention to the neglected side and balance in people recovering from a stroke. It may help reduce the risk of falls and improve daily functioning.
This trial tests a computer-based training program designed to help people who have lost part of their vision due to a stroke. The training may help you use your remaining vision more effectively, which could improve daily activities and confidence.
This study tests different therapy methods to help people who have trouble paying attention to one side of the world after a stroke. It aims to find which approach works best for improving this 'neglect' and helping you get back to daily activities.
This study tests whether an interactive screen helps people with left-sided neglect after a stroke. It includes adults who had a right-sided stroke and have trouble paying attention to the left side of their world.
